Original Title was: Format support for HL7 - Personal health records, outbreak management, vaccinations
There is broad consensus on exchange of health information for pharmacy, hospital records, personal health information, vaccination program delivery, and outbreak management through the Health Level 7 body of web services and data exchange formats listed at HL7.org. We are seeing more integrations of front-end CRM systems with back-end government systems supporting HL7 standards. And leveraging data stored in back-end systems for epidemiological analysis in GIS environments such as EpiInfo or statistical packages such as SPSS (or Tableau) is becoming more necessary for public health professionals.
